was the way teachers described the month of Marchwhen I was little and I've ALWAYS loved and remembered it.Craig likes to keep me updated on the weather and whatthe coming days will bring... he called today PERFECTLY!I always ask him what the day will be like so I know what to wear... he is SO cute.

"Her face is a map of the worldIs a map of the worldYou can see she's a beautiful girlShe's a beautiful girlAnd everything around her is a silver pool of lightThe people who surround her feel the benefit of itIt makes you calmShe holds you captivated in her palm

Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)This is what I wanna beSuddenly I see (Suddenly I see)Why the hell it means so much to me

I feel like walking the worldLike walking the worldYou can hear she's a beautiful girlShe's a beautiful girlShe fills up every corner like she's born in black and whiteMakes you feel warmer when you're trying to rememberWhat you heardShe likes to leave you hanging on her word

Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)This is what I wanna beSuddenly I see (Suddenly I see)Why the hell it means so much to me

And she's taller than mostAnd she's looking at meI can see her eyes looking from a page in a magazineOh she makes me feel like I could be a towerA big strong towerShe got the power to beThe power to giveThe power to see

Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)This is what I wanna beSuddenly I see (Suddenly I see)Why the hell it means so much to me "

We accomplished a lot and also had a good time.We had lunch with some nice new friends and hit the Home Depot for some house and gardeningstuff. I started some herbs ( basil, mint, rosemary andlavender ) that will be transplated outside in about 6 weeks or so. I also started some daikon radish seedsthat were given to us by our new friends. We werealso given some home made pickles which look very tasty...Angus loves pickles, so the 2 jars may not last too long.Angus also had his friend Ben over for a sleepover... Ben wokeup at 6am apparently, but kept busy w/ some video games.We also picked up a bandana for Bombs, we felt he needed one.He's also going by "BANDIT" for the rest of the day.

Tonight, this TALL DRINK OF WATER is making us a roastfor our Sunday Dinner. I'm making some mashers androasted garlic w/ grilled bread.

is what I did today... Neko tickets arepurchased and a good time is on the way!I'm so excited even though I've seen herat least 5 times before.

"Want to get it all behind me,You know everything reminds meI can't be myself without you..Want to crawl down deep insideThe springs inside the mattressWhere l cry my dirty secrets.'Cause I just can't shake this feelingThat I'm nothing in your eyes.

And if I knew heartbreak was coming,I would've set out running-Past the city houses,And the ditches on the highwayRead between the seasons,Under the bridges in valleys,Til the winds out on the prairieWhip the tears from my eyes.

Want to get it all behind me,You know everything reminds meI can't be myself without youWant to crawl down deep insidethe springs inside the mattress where I cry my dirty secrets.'Cause I just can't shake this feelingThat I'm nothing in your eyes.

And if I knew heartbreak was comingI would've set out running,Across the muddy river,And the smokestacks on the bank.Swallow that horizon,Hunger beyond hunger,Til the cloudy blue PacificTook the air in my lungs.

And if I knew heartbreak was comingI would've set out running,'Cause I just can't shake this feelingThat I'm nothing in your eyes."

YAY! Neko's coming to Burque'April 15th and I could not behappier. As a matter for fact, I went out to the car to get aNeko cd so the girls here canknow what all my excitement isabout, AND I FELL! My right kneeis swelling as I type... the painis totally worth knowing I will beseeing Neko soon.

OH, HAPPY DAY!

"My true love drowned in a dirty old panOf oil that did run from the block,Of a falcon sedan 1969.The paper said '75....There were no survivors,None found alive.

Trees break the sidewalkAnd the sidewalk skins my knees-There's glass in my thermosAnd blood on my jeans.Nickels and dimes of the fourth of julyRoll off in a crooked line...To the chain-link lots where the red tails diveOh how I forgot what it's like.

Hey when she sings, when she sings when she sings like she runsMoves like she runs.Hey when she moves, when she moves when she moves like she runsMoves like she runs.Hey there there�s such dandy wolves �round town tonightRound the town tonight.Hey there there�s such dandy wolves �round town tonightRound the town tonight.

Hey pretty baby get high with me,We can go to my sisters if we say "we'll watch the baby"The look on your face yanks my neck on the chain,And I would do anything...To see you again.

So I fall in behind�

Hey when she sings, when she sings when she sings like she runsMoves like she runs.Hey when she moves, when she moves when she moves like she runsMoves like she runs.Hey there there�s such dandy wolves �round town tonightRound the town tonight.Hey there there�s such dandy wolves �round town tonightRound the town tonight.

Go on, go on scream and cry,You're miles from where anyone will find you.This is nothing new, no television crewThey don't even put on the sirens...My nightgown sweeps the pavement,Please don't let him die.

....it was my duty to stay in bed with Sweets and Bombayinstead of going to work across town. It was totally worthit, Craig made me a yummy breakfast of scrambled eggswith cheddar, bacon, tortillas and green chile-- when wefinally got out of bed. Tonight I am cooking us up some NY strips and broccoli w/ roasted potatoes for my baby.

has been crazy-- workwise.I will be the happiest little girl in the world when I'm out of here.

This song reminds me of when I was 20years old or so and my friend Sasha andI had a cute house together in the SouthValley on Sunset Drive. We used to have partiesall the time and rocked a number of greattunes, including this one.

"I am still living with your ghost-Lonely and dreaming of the west coast.I don't want to be your downtime,I don't want to be your stupid game.

With my big black boots and an old suitcase-I do believe Ill find myself a new place.I don't want to be the bad guy,I don't want to do your sleepwalk dance anymore.I just want to see some palm trees,Go and try and shake away this disease.

We can live beside the ocean-Leave the fire behind.Swim out past the breakers-Watch the world die."

I envy the sunThat brightens your summer,That warms your body,And holds you in her heat,And makes your days longer,And makes you hot,And makes you sweat-I envy the sun.I envy the wind, I envy the rain, I envy the sun, I envy the wind."

--Lucinda Williams

I saw her a few years agon in Santa Fe and shewas just gorgeous! She is as amazing in concertas she is on an album.

Yum, today is the freakin' Superbowl, which pretty muchmeans you can eat whatever you damn well please. Craigand I are "re-creating Hooters' Menu" as he puts it. We arehaving some hotwings, chile con carne, and organic bread,all homemade. As some may know, bread is not a usual footballstaple-- it's just good as hell. Here I am behind our new walland the guys I'm spending my day with:

"Yo, in she came with the same type game-The type of girl givin out the fake cell phone and name.Big fame, she like cats with big thangs-Jewels chip, money clip, phone flip, the six range.I seen her on the ave, spotted her more than once,Ass so fat that you could see it from the front!She spot me like paparazzi; shot me a glancein that catwoman stance with the fat booty pants, Hot damn!What's your name love, where you came from?Neck and wrist blazed up, very little make-up.The swims at the Reebok gym tone your frame up.Is sugar and spice the only thing that you made of?I tried to play it low key but couldn't keep it down.Asked her to dance she was like "Yo, I'm leavin now".An hour later, sounds from Jamaica-She sippin Crys straight up, shakin, windin her waist up..."

--Mos Def

I love this song, it always makes me want to dance.The entire song is too long to post, but this isprobably the best part anyway.

had for our dinner last night...It's risotto, which is an Italian rice dish, and it's prepared with chicken stock and white wine, fresh asparagus, portobello and button mushrooms, parmesan,garlic, shallots,fresh ground nutmeg and lemon zest.We also had a lovely salad with homemade vinaigrette, yummy tomatoes and gorgonzola cheese. It took a longtime to properly cook the risotto, but in the end itwas totally worth it. Craig helped me along the waybecause he's done it before and he's sweet.
